Geekery: New Alien Covenant Teasers
With special guests John Denver and a bunch of protomorphs!
We’re a little under 8 weeks away from Ridely Scott’s latest addition to the Alien franchise. There are a host of short teasers over on 20th Century Fox’s Youtube page if you want to get a better look the planet and its inhabitants. This particular trailer, however, has a cameo of sorts from a member of the Prometheus crew.
Fox also released a new prequel spot the reminds me a lot of Weyland-Yutani promos made for Prometheus…
And last, but not least, this very Gigeresque poster…
I have to admit, the more clips and trailers I see the more I like it. That said: I thought the same of Prometheus. My hopes are a little higher than they were when the project was announced. It’ll be visually stunning and have great effects, but we won’t know if it will be plagued with the same story, character development, and editing problems its predecessor had. We can hope it doesn’t and this is the alien movie we’ve been waiting for. Maybe.
Alien: Covenant hits theaters on May 9th
